If you get a chance to watch the Documentary Film "Bad-Axe" please do. This is a film by a young filmmaker named Seiv. I think his first name is John but don't remember for sure. It is about the trials and tribulations of his father Chun Seiv during the covid pandemic who lives in Bad Axe, a small town in the thumb part of Michigan. He & his wife Rachael Run a small restaurant there, & have raised their children there. I know a bit of his history because he once owned a Tae Kwon Do studio near where I lived. Both my son & I trained there and received our black belts there many years ago.

As a child of 12 or 13 Chun survived "The Killing Fields" of the Khamer Rouge(sp?). He rescued his mother and sisters and guided them many miles by night across the border to a church sanctuary. His family was sponsored by a church group, brought to the U.S. and settled in the town of Romeo, MI where I first met him. His fathers fate is still unknown but assumed to have died in The Killing Fields.

This is the toughest man I have ever know in every possible way. When I knew him he slept only 3 or 4 hours a night because of the nightmares of the horrors he survived. I plan to see the film.

I will have to check it out. I am amazed when I talk to someone or read their story of how they survived such horrendous situations and treatment by other people.
